One of the best computer role-playing games ever made works just as well on consoles, with a staggering level of complexity and flexibility but still a very accessible sense of fun.

Divinity Original Sin II: Definitive Edition is almost certainly the finest RPG experience on the current generation of consoles. The sheer range and depth of the combat coupled with the interesting and well written dialogue and story produces a vast and rewarding experience that continually surprises and delights. Ironically, the only real negative aspect is that the sheer size of the game is overwhelming and many will not see it through to the end.

One of the greatest classic RPG of the generation. Story, setting and freedom of action seems uparalleled, although controls and menu navigation for consoles version still feel a bit rough.

An excellent port of a true masterpiece. The only real drawback is the control system: the dualshock isn't the most streamlined mean for taming an isometric RPG.

If you can't play on PC, Divinity: Original Sin 2 on Switch is a perfectly fine way to play. It has its issues and quirks that make it more of a companion to the PC version, but being able to play wherever you want makes up for it.

Original Sin 2 shakes your hand a little too hard when you first meet. It needs to relax until you get to know it better. It's endlessly surprising, with characters that lose their stiffness over time, in dialogues and battle logs that piece together a dangerous, thoughtful world. It's tough. But the reward is that you get tougher, too. It still needs to clean up some of its tactical sloppiness, though. Having a ton of options in battle is only good if its rules are fair and make sense.

I can go on and on about how great Original Sin II is and honestly, I'd love to, but I think I have said what needs to be said here.

The control system is less comfortable and the framerate not so stable, but Divinity: Original Sin 2 remains an excellent RPG also on console, with several improvements to the pure contents.

There are few RPGs I'd dare to call essential, but Divinity: Original Sin 2 stands out among all others as deserving of that accolade. It's undoubtedly one of the best tactical and role-playing experiences you'll ever have on any platform.

With stellar writing, challenging combat, a compelling central quest, and dozens of worthwhile side activities, Divinity: Original Sin II is one of the finest role-playing games available on PlayStation 4. There's the occasional small issue and some scant technical hiccups – particularly when playing online – but these are minor quibbles. This is a dense, engrossing adventure, packed to the hilt with stories worth hearing, conflicts you'll want to resolve, and secret treasures just begging to be discovered.

Rightly considered one of the best Western RPGs of recent years, Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition has lost none of its appeal on Nintendo Switch.

Divinity: Original Sin II is surely one of the best games to be seen on consoles this year, not only speaking of RPGs. And as I said in the introduction, FOR ME is already among the greats of the RPG. It's not easy to bring a very tactical and theoretically "slow" RPG subgenre to a wider target audience. In my opinion they have succeeded, or at least, they have done everything possible thanks to the union of a solid story and script, total freedom to face situations (even without fighting on many occasions) and a noteworthy graphic section.
